It's particularly important to know if it's a pervasive problem. If it 
affects only one (or a few, perhaps), that's one thing. If it affects 
essentially everyone, or everyone with a particular version of board 
or code, or everyone trying to order a particular item, or everyone 
trying to order *anything*, that's an entirely different level of 
problem, which needs to be raised to the designers, developers, and 
administrators, as appropriate.

I won't go quite that far, but I do urge Kirk to consider that at least 
some of us think that such traffic does serve a useful purpose. If the 
listmom thinks otherwise, I'm sure we'll all see an administrative 
notice to that effect.
